Heaton, Tim B.; And Others – 1982
United States population trends in 1960 suggested that the growing socioeconomic status of blacks would result in increasingly similar migration patterns among blacks and whites.

Frey, William H. – Gerontologist, 1995
Examines how 1990 state elderly populations have been affected by "new elderly births" (a state's population, ages 55-59 in 1985, which survived to ages 60-64 in 1990) as well as by migration components.

Wilson, Frank Harold – Urban League Review, 1992
Presents a sociological analysis of African-American population changes, based on U.S. Census data for 1980 and 1990. The restructuring of the U.S. economy and the urban redevelopment and reorganization of the postindustrial city are suggested as causes of the differentials in the African-American population. (SLD)

Taeuber, Conrad; Mosher, William T. – 1974
The urbanization of the black population is a relatively recent phenomenon.
